Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face SOUNDCLIPS

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok so as promised here are some soundclips. I think this pedal sounds a little bit better than the Classic 108 Fuzz with the volume knob on my guitar cranked, but as I said before this pedal thins out quite a bit when rolling off your guitar's volume knob, unlike the Classic 108 Fuzz which stays pretty fat. But, I did some soundclips with rolling off my volume just to show you the range. Here's the Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face for a thick and nasty full on fuzz sound:

Pretty raw and aggressive. Now I'll use only my neck pickup and roll it back some for more of a distorted sound, notice that it thins out some:

And then rolled off even more for a dynamic overdrive sound that I can clean up all the way by playing lightly, notice that at this point the sound is quite thin:

So, in my opinion, if all you want is cranked all out fuzz, this pedal sounds better than the Classic 108 Fuzz, but if you want the full range of Fuzz Face tones, and you want them to be fat, the Classic 108 Fuzz is the way to go. See my newest soundclips with the volume rolled off on the Classic 108 Fuzz at the end of my old Classic 108 Fuzz thread.

That first clip sounds awesome. Raunchy but still defined.
